Sara Jacobs: "Filler is gender affirming care. Boob jobs is gender affirming care. Botox is gender affirming care. Lots of my colleagues have received gender affirming care and let me be clear, I think everyone should have access to the gender affirming care they need." Nancy Mace: *screams*

But if you EVER, for even a second, dreamed of getting your Hogwarts letter: not one single goddamn penny to J.K. Rowling ever again. Her fantasy was never the flood of letters and the joy that would always find you. It was the power to shut somebody up in a cupboard under the stairs.

Harrowing but helpful: When it comes to disasters like the Los Angeles fires and evacuations, “The public needs to understand that whatever planning & services are in place that do exist have almost certainly not considered a myriad of disabled people’s needs.” www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Your local government isn't ready to evacuate disabled people

California's fire-prone counties left people to die. Other communities don't have to.

No, San Francisco doesn’t need to close schools. The problems go way deeper.
